So, what exactly is The Pursuit Of Healthiness™

The Pursuit of Healthiness™ is a comprehensive ​program ​designed to help you eat well and still have a life.  This is not just a course, it is a nutrition club with lifetime access to mentorship, support, and connections with other people in similar situations.

​My clear step-by-step approach and no-nonsense nutrition solutions are designed to help you achieve your best life faster, easier and guilt-free.

This nutrition ​program shows you the success path of how to fast-track your way to better health, elevated energy and achievement of your personal best weight.

If you have ever felt stuck, defeated, stressed, too busy or overwhelmed when it comes to the topic of healthy eating, you are not alone. As a Registered Dietitian in Calgary, Alberta, Canada for ​over 20 years, I have worked with thousands of individuals, parents and employees that want to look and feel better each day.

I’ve been listening to your goals, interests and challenges. I have an idea of where you have been stuck or what caused you to fall off the wagon. I’ve been studying solutions to help you overcome these roadblocks and move forward with confidence. With this insight, I have created a one-of-a-kind ​signature training program and nutrition club that will serve my mission to help as many people as possible achieve health without guilt or complexity.

“Andrea helps people to effect change at a deep level that, most importantly, is sustainable for a lifetime of health.”

Dr. Deb Putnam, Referring Family Physician

What Makes This The Best Nutrition ​Program?

1. Your plan, your way

One size does not fit all. I show you how to build a sustainable plan for YOU (based on current research as well as your health, weight status and food personality).

This is a course for both meat-atarians and vegetarians, for those that enjoy cooking and those that don’t. I give you choices, assessments and one-of-a-kind supporting resources.

2. Get credible mentorship

No nonsense here. As a Registered Dietitian in Calgary, Alberta, Canada for close to 20 years, my approach is grounded in science and sustainability.

I translate the complex science of medicine, nutrition and weight management into easy to understand, relevant strategies you can use immediately.

3. Have more fun

I take the die out of diet. As a foodie first, and Dietitian second, you can always expect that taste and enjoyment in eating will always be at the forefront of any recommendation.

I will show you how to eat more veggies, but still have a life (that includes chocolate, chips and other yummy things). No food rules, only food love. You won’t find any weird diet plans or lists of forbidden foods restricted for no clear medical reason.

4. Get the what and the how

I don’t just give you advice on what to eat, I also show you the system of how to do it. I help take the guesswork out of what to do and in what order to boost your energy, health and weight management efforts.

Whether you’re a beginner or know lots about nutrition but have struggled to put it into action, the simple techniques, cheat sheets and loads of examples found in this course will make planning seamless.

“​I have come to think of the program as a one stop shopping excursion for everything one needs to know about creating a joyous relationship with food and our bodies. In a single word, the course has gifted me with freedom”  

​Lynn Haley

How The Program Works

Attend live or work at your own pace

Access to the introductory training session is available the moment you complete your registration.

The 5 ​other training sessions will be presented LIVE over 6 weeks with Q&A to follow.

​Recordings of the live training sessions will also be available in the program member area so you can watch on your own ​at any time.

Time in-between each ​training session is important so that:

You can stay focused and don’t get overwhelmed.

You have time to implement what you learn.

​You can ​connect and grow with a like-minded community at about the same pace.

We can focus our LIVE Q&A sessions and questions in the member area so that the vast majority of people understand the context of the questions being asked.

​Once all the training ​sessions have been released you will have lifetime access to the course materials to access whenever you like.

Learn how you learn best

The program is multimedia and delivered in the following formats to enhance learning:

  • Video format

  • Cheat sheet PDFs

  • ​Worksheets

  • ​​Bonus resources

Access support and mentorship along the way

I’ve got you covered. I have a support team that can help with administrative or tech questions.

When it comes to your nutrition questions, unlike many online programs, you will hear from ME directly to provide support and mentorship through:

  • ​Responding to questions and proving encouragement in our private members course area

  • Addressing questions and supporting our community in our private Facebook Group

  • ​Q&A sessions after the weekly live training sessions to address your personal questions

​Many of ​my students have also appreciated the support they have received from our course group ​itself.  ​We have an ​​amazing community of ​​like-minded members that also provide encouragement and suggestions based on what is working for them.

Mobile and tablet friendly

Review the ​program training and resources any way you like:

  • Online on your COMPUTER desktop

  • Download to your SMART PHONE and listen or watch on the go

  • Download to your TABLET and listen and watch wherever you are

Lifetime access to the ​trainings and club

  • The course materials are yours to archive, review and keep for life.

  • ​Get free access to our ​training program website, future ​program revisions and ​updated resources.

  • ​Free ongoing access to o​ur private Facebook Group to ask ​questions, and receive community support from other like minded participants each time I ​open registration to a new group.

  • ​Retake the ​program again and again for free! Mastery takes time and repetition. You will learn and implement something new each time you ​work through the training materials  This is why for as long as this program is running you can retake the program at no additional cost.

“Andrea has a longstanding, solid reputation because of her creative, compassionate, “let’s do it” approach to life and work. Her information is credible, evidence-based and better yet, presented in a way that sticks.”

Dr. Colleen Cannon, Clinical Psychologist & Co-founder Craving Change Inc.

The Pursuit of Healthiness™ Curriculum

The Pursuit of HealthinessTM began in 2018 ​consisting as a 3 month self-directed course that included an introductory module and 5 core modules. Each module was designed to help you with a step-by-step nutrition success path to achieve better health, energy and your personal best weight… EASIER, FASTER & BETTER.

In this special LIVE version of the course, I’m teaching the course curriculum in weekly training sessions on Zoom over 6 weeks.  Why am I teaching this live instead of as a self-directed course this time?  I feel ​this is the best way to ​get you to the finish line faster with the extra care and support you might need right now given the challenging year we’ve all experienced with the public health crisis.

Outside of the live training sessions, I am also providing you access to me for mentorship and support through our private course ​discussion area and private Facebook Group.

​”Had I not joined this course I would have struggled with being rudderless with no focus, low energy, and mindless eating. I would have eaten my way through the grief of losing three family members in less than a year and likely joined many of my family members who have struggled with weight issues.”

​Lorri Lawrence

How This Came About

As a ​nutrition educator for ​over 20 years, I have worked with thousands of individuals, parents and employees that want to look and feel better each day.

I’ve been listening to your goals, interests and challenges related to energy, health and how to achieve your personal best weight. I have an idea of where you have been stuck or what caused you to fall off the wagon. I’ve been studying solutions to help you overcome these roadblocks and move forward with confidence. With this insight, I have created a one-of-a-kind online nutrition program and club with mentorship and a supportive community that will serve my mission to help as many people as possible achieve health without guilt or complexity.

Rather than create a short course that would only scratch the surface and leave you to figure out how to implement the knowledge all on your own, I decided instead to create a comprehensive A-Z training program. This ​program and mentorship with lifetime access hands you step-by-step knowledge.  You’ll take home when to do what, and how to do it, so you can build a nutrition plan you can enjoy for life.

What Past Clients Have To Say

"I was blown away by the completeness of the course. It provides incredible richness and the missing keys."

As a prediabetic, I knew about healthy eating through the diabetic eating plan. However, I often made last-minute decisions and ate poorly. This unique course has given me the missing keys to move forward with sustainable, healthy eating. Insightful personality profiles identified my eating instincts (such as plan ahead or go day-by-day; and eat three main meals or “graze”). And, I now have pragmatic tools for thinking out meal options ahead of time and ensuring that I have ingredients on hand, as well as tricks for healthy eating “on the run”.

There is also lots of useful course material, and we were encouraged to focus first on our top one or two priorities for manageable change. At 56 years of age, I finally feel that I have the awareness and tools to substantially improve my eating and overall health.

"The approach, non-judgemental support and course materials are a no-nonsense way of thinking and learning to have a much better relationship with food."

As someone who has had struggles with food most of my life I’ve found the Pursuit of Healthiness course has really helped me settle the “noise” in my head around food. I’ve learned to change the way I think about certain foods, have added those “forbidden foods” back to my diet and am learning how to not stress about slip-ups and enjoy eating again. I forgot what butter tasted like.

The approach, non-judgemental support and course materials are a no-nonsense way of thinking and learning to have a much better relationship with food. You work at your own pace to complete the modules and there is no pressure to be where everyone else is. The material is very helpful to work through your own personal struggles and is well laid out and easy to follow. Having a lifetime access is great as you can go back and refer to the information anytime. For me, I’m on a journey not a race.

I’ve gained so much more confidence in my food choices. I’m enjoying food more, cooking more and accepting life challenges without using food as a crutch. If I hadn’t made the decision to take this course I would still be trapped in my poor choices and allowing all that “negative noise” to control my eating habits. I’m moving in a more positive direction. Thanks so much for your support.

"You could tell the amount of time and effort put into this comprehensive course based on the content and the delivery."

As someone interested in health and fitness, I jumped at the chance to take this course. Given nutrition can be confusing and overwhelming, I was able to revisit how much I thought I knew and what areas I can improve on.

You could tell the amount of time and effort put into this comprehensive course based on the content and the delivery. Each module had a number of lessons and each had both video sessions and supporting materials to follow along. I really liked that she released the modules one at a time as this gave me time to go through them, but at the same time, kept me on track as I am a bit of procrastinator. I also like that we have unlimited access to the materials to go back and review them as needed.

One of the things I appreciated was that we were not told there was only one way to do something. Instead the course provided overall strategies and then we could ask questions in our members area and live chat sessions to help provide specific advice. After taking this course I now appreciate the benefit of experimenting, since this allows you to pay attention to how you feel and not be so mindless when you are eating. I now don’t underestimate the value of planning ahead (even if it is only one day at a time which is what works for me).

I also have a better understanding of portion sizes and that when it comes to weight management, more pounds are lost in the kitchen than in the gym. Lastly, it is great to be part of a community that doesn’t eliminate soulful foods chosen for taste and enjoyment (after all life is too short to not enjoy every day – and that includes what you eat).
